Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a light emitting diode lamp that includes a band-pass filter with a function to cut off light rays with specific wavelengths. A light shield is included to block part of the light rays emitted from the light emitting diode when they incident on the band-pass filter at certain angles. A light angle adjuster is used to allow the unblocked light rays to be incident on the band-pass filter at different angles. The light shield is a shielding tube and the light angle adjuster is a lens. The light emitting diode is mounted on one end of the shielding tube while the band-pass filter is mounted on the other end of the shielding tube. The reflector in the light emitting diode lamp includes a reflective surface and an opening covered by the band-pass filter. The band-pass filter covers the reflector's opening and includes an incident side plane arranged orthogonally to a rotational axis of the paraboloid of revolution. The light shielding member prevents direct view of the light emitting diode at an angle parallel to the rotational axis of the paraboloid of revolution. The present invention reduces the chances of emitting light rays with undesired wavelengths when using a band-pass filter with specific incident angle dependency.

Problems solved by technology

However, it was found that the band-pass filter tends to be unable to exert a light blocking (cutoff) function with respect to light rays incident on the band-pass filter at incident angles of greater than a predetermined angle (this tendency will be hereinafter referred to as “incident angle dependency” of the band-pass filter).
Because of this, a drawback has frequently emerged that light rays with undesired wavelengths cannot be completely cut off in spite of using the band-pass filter.

[0068](Modification 1)

[0069]As shown in FIG. 4, at least one of light shielding members 70, 72 and 74 may be added, as a constituent element, to the light emitting diode lamp 10 according to the aforementioned practical example. The light shielding members 70, 72 and 74 are provided for preventing the light emitting diode 20 from being directly seen when the light emitting diode lamp 10 is seen at an angle parallel to the rotational axis RCL of the paraboloid of revolution (i.e., from the front side of the light emitting diode lamp 10). It should be noted that the material, of which the light shielding members 70, 72 and 74 are made, is not limited to a specific material as long as the light shielding members 70, 72 and 74 can block light rays emitted from the light emitting diode 20. For example, metal, opaque resin, ceramic material or so forth can be assumed as the material of the light shielding members 70, 72 and 74.

[0072](Modification 2)

[0073]Moreover, the heat sink 50 and a light shielding member 78 may be integrated unlike the configuration shown in FIG. 4 that the light shielding members 70, 72 and 74 provided separately from the heat sink 50 are mounted in place. As shown in FIG. 5, at least part of the heat sink 50, located above the light emitting diode 20, is protruded toward the reflective surface 34 so as to form a step 76, as the light shielding member 78, on the light emitting diode mounted lateral face 52 of the heat sink 50 as seen in a cross-sectional view along the up-and-down direction. Accordingly, it is possible to achieve advantageous effects similar to those achieved by forming the light shielding members 70, 72 and 74 provided separately from the heat sink 50 as shown in FIG. 4. Additionally, the light absorbing material may be disposed on the surface of the step 76 in opposition to the light emitting diode 20 in order to avoid a situation that light rays, when striking th...

[0074](Modification 3)

[0075]Furthermore, FIG. 6 shows another example of integrating the heat sink 50 and the light shielding member 78. The light emitting diode mounted lateral face 52 of the heat sink 50 may be formed to slant as seen in a cross-sectional view along the up-and-down direction. This will be specifically explained. The light emitting diode mounted lateral face 52 is shaped to slant with respect to the rotational axis RCL as seen in the cross-sectional view along the up-and-down direction such that the position of the emission center C of the light emitting diode 20 is matched with that of the focal point F of the paraboloid of revolution defining the reflective surface 34, while the opening 36-side end (the upward end) of the light emitting diode mounted lateral face 52 is at least located in a position corresponding to the emission center C of the light emitting diode 20. Accordingly, part of the light emitting diode mounted lateral face 52, located above the light ...

Abstract

A light emitting diode lamp is composed of a light emitting diode, a band-pass filter and a light angle adjuster. The filter has a light cutoff function to cut off a light ray with a specific wavelength. The light angle adjuster allows the light rays emitted from the diode to be incident on the filter at incident angles of less than or equal to a maximum incident angle up to which the filter is capable of exerting the light cutoff function. The light angle adjuster is a reflector. The diode is mounted to a bottom portion. The filter is mounted to an opening. On an imaginary cross section including the optical axis, an angle formed between the optical axis and a straight line is less than or equal to the maximum incident angle, the straight line connects the emission center and an edge of the opening.
